The
Kiwanis Club of Charlottesville is pleased to report the
very successful completion of the 24th Annual Independence
Day 5K Run at Forest Lakes North. Net proceeds of over $8,000
will go directly to Camp Holiday Trails, a camp for children
with special health needs. This race, which attracted 310
runners, was won by 20 year-old Brad O'Neil with a time of
16:58. The top female runner was 17 year-old Rachael Rose
with a time of 19:07. Participants were 55% male and 45%
female with runners ranging in age from 6 to 81 with a median
age of 37. Pictured are (from left) President Philip Day
and Kiwanian Dan Clark presenting a check at a recent meeting
to Tina Laroche, Executive Director of Camp Holiday Trails.
Charlottesville Kiwanis has supported this unique camp for more than 30 years, and Dan Clark serves as current Chairman
of the CHT Board.
